A Morris County man was arrested Saturday after he was found hitchhiking in Mansfield Township, according to police reports.

Raymond Brobst, 43, of Budd Lake, was picked up on Route 57 by a westbound driver, police said. Police stopped the driver, Michael Clark, 22, of Hackettstown, after seeing Brobst climb into the passenger-side of Clark's car, according to reports.

Clark initially said that he knew Brobst, but when police asked for his passenger's name, Clark said, "You got me. I don't know who he is," according to reports.

Police also found that Brobst was wanted on a $500 warrant out of Netcong. He was later released pending a future court date.
